    Lower-income and young people forced to leave California in droves because we prefer “neighborhood character” to extension of opportunity. https://twitter.com/vpostrel/status/973634981552644097?s=21 …

        Isn't the headline, the net migration out lowest in 27 years? Wasn't it worst in 1993 or 2005, and close to netting out to parity in last 5 years? And even for younger cohorts, gaining some and losing some - outbound to TX, inbound from IL.

        Speaks to magnitude of opportunity — inward migration should be vast. Instead, inflow disproportionately restricted to affluent, and despite being in throes of mega boom, migration *still* net negative.

        It’s not “neighborhood character.” It’s Prop 13.

        It's the locals who are both driving the lack of housing, and also being forced out. Can't really blame new arrivals for laws they didn't vote for.

        If housing prices to household income continue to rise, this situation could happen in Toronto and Vancouver too. @JohnTory

        Weird then that we have lots of successful businesses paying high wages. However, still have net migration. Evidence doesn't seem to fit.
